Artist of Various Media

I am an artist of various media including Oil and Acrylic Painting, Pastel, Pencil and Charcoal Drawing, Digital Painting and Jewelry Design. Nature, people, and colors of life inspire me. I always have such desire to capture the enchanting moments around us into my art, so that they will last forever, to accompany us and to rejoice our heart forever.

Painting and Drawing

I have been doing oil painting for 20 years. I studied art and oil painting at several community colleges. I also studied figure drawing with live models, and love to do figures and portraits with charcoal and color pencil. I attended 2-day portrait painting workshop offered by Stacy Kamin in 2017. I started plein air style oil painting in 2018, and just fell in love with it ever since. I attended one-week plein air painting workshop offered by Thomas Jefferson Kits in 2022. My drawings and paintings were displayed at San Diego County Fair Fine Art Exhibit several times. My favorite subjects in oil painting are seascape, landscape, florals, pets, women, kids and nature. I am always fascinated with the colors and lights that nature displays. My work can be seen at the San Dieguito Art Guild’s Off Track Gallery in Encinitas and Carlsbad Oceanside Art League’s North Coastal Art Gallery in Carlsbad. My paintings are also displayed and available for purchase on my website: www.haixinli-artstudio.com.

Jewelry Design

My jewelry design features natural semi-precious gemstones, crystals, sterling silver and gold-filled materials. I have displayed and sold my jewelry pieces at several local boutique stores. I have also won awards and ribbons at shows and contests. I organize a jewelry design club where I teach people how to design and make their own one-of-a-kind jewelry.

Digital Painting

I have an engineering background which made me an expert in computer aided design. With 25 years of computer skills, I became experienced in many graphic software. I love to create digital painting with Photoshop and Wacom drawing pad. The ease of creating vibrant colors in digital painting is what attracts me the most, and of course the no mess working environment. Some of my digital paintings can be seen on my Facebook and Instagram (xins_art_studio).

Commission

I accept commission in paintings and jewelry design for any occasions. Feel free to visit my artist website and contact me through email or Facebook.
